Don’t get me wrong, there is definitely some value to the default black text on white background that we see on so many (*ahem ALL) our Canvas pages. It’s the maximum amount of contrast and allows for technically easy readability and accessibility. But there is also value in changing things up a little bit. Add some variation and creativity. Let your students know that you are interested in presenting this content to them and that the course wasn’t created by robots.

Thank you for this. I was struggling to remember my html days from college.
